Who Ya' Gonna' Call?

Contributed by Johnny Wilson on Aug 30, 2010

God's people, throughout history, have often had a tragic cycle of forgetting God and needing God's "sandpaper" to bring them back to God.

I know a lot of people believe that this is due to laziness or an unclear sense of what God wants to do in a service (in other words, the pastor doesn’t have to figure out what he or she is ...read more

Exodus 32:1-35 - Leadership Challenges And Failures

Contributed by Carl Willis on Apr 18, 2024

Moses is taking too long and the people are grumbling. Aaron has a choice to make and instead of standing strong he chooses the path of compromise.

Today, we're going to be in Chapter 32, where we'll study two lessons in leadership with Moses and Aaron. ...read more
